supply chain oil and gasThe goal of this project is to hire a team of students to write a report analyzing the major supply chains in Canada. The focus should be on the connection points between small crop farms, lumber, minerals, gems, oil, small batch manufacturers, craftsmen, and skills-based services, local distributors and sellers. Additionally, the team should look at small companies that control the whole process from start to finish, such as Stormy Acres, a hops farm that also makes and sells its own soap at markets and fairs.
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- An understanding of the major supply chains in Canada and the connection points between them.
- An analysis of small companies that control the whole process from start to finish.
- An understanding of the impact of the supply chain on local businesses.
Final deliverables should include:
- A written report detailing the findings of the project.
- An analysis of the impact of the supply chain on local businesses.
- Recommendations on how to improve the supply chain.

About Us
Introduction
At Your Sweet Spot Life, our mission is simple: we co-create. We’re not here to provide or offer—we’re here to join forces. Whether it's a concept, a product, a creative endeavor, or a community growth idea, we work together to bring it to life, sharing both the process and the rewards. We’re not a business in the traditional sense, but rather a collaborative ecosystem where ideas, resources, and creativity flow between partners.
Co-Creation
Every project begins with a shared idea. From conceptualization to development, we move together to refine and evolve that idea into something tangible. We embrace a co-creative approach to everything, whether we’re building products, services, or community-driven initiatives. Every step is a shared investment, and every outcome is a reflection of our collective effort.
Local Impact
Our projects are rooted in the strength of local partnerships. We work with Canadian businesses and individuals to bring ideas to life, whether that’s creating sustainable products, enhancing local services, or supporting community growth. Each collaboration brings together local knowledge and resources, ensuring that everything we build has deep roots and far-reaching impact.
Shared Learning
We don’t just teach or train—we learn together. Every project presents opportunities to build new skills, exchange knowledge, and deepen our collective understanding. We provide resources and tools, but more importantly, we co-create an environment where skills are developed organically through collaboration.
Creative Process
From Canadian lifestyle brand creation to metanarrative interactive experiences, we aim to explore all forms of storytelling—theater, film, books, radio, and more. Our projects can integrate many mediums and genres to build rich, engaging, and innovative works that captivate audiences and reflect our collective vision.
Sustainable Growth
Our focus is on long-term growth, not just short-term outputs. From community-driven projects to economic systems that support innovation, we build frameworks that allow for sustainable, generational success. It’s about creating systems that grow together, whether in the form of collaborative spaces, marketplaces, or new ways of engaging with the world.
Marketplace
The work we do is meant to sustain. Our marketplace isn’t just for products—it’s a platform where all kinds of ideas can be shared and scaled. Whether it’s creative works, services, or community projects, the marketplace brings everything we build together in one place, supporting economic stability and growth for every project we co-create.
